VIRGINIA P. ORRICK, OF CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND.

SHOE-CABINET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,003, dated August 11, 1903. Application filed March 24, 1903. Serial No. 149,408; (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, VIRGINIA PENDLETON ORRIOK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cumberland, in the county of Allegany and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to shoe-cabinets; and it consists of the parts and combination of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter pointed out.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical central transverse section of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the cabinet.

The cabinet comprises side pieces 1, the lower end of which is cut out so as to form feet 2.

3 is the top of the cabinet, below which is a suitable ornamental molding 4.

5 is the back of the cabinet secured to the side pieces 1 and top piece 3 in a suitable manner and provided with a series of perforations 6, over which are secured screens 7, said screens being secured to the inner'face of the back.

8 is the bottom of the cabinet, which is provided with perforations 9, said perforations being covered by suitable screens 10,-

secured upon the upper face of said bottom.

11 is the ornamental front piece, secured to the front edge of the bottom 8 and extending between the side pieces 1, as shown in Fig. 1.

12 is the door, of suitable construction and hinged to one of the side pieces, adapted to close the cabinet, said door being provided with a suitable lock 13.

14 represents a series of shelves secured to the back and side pieces of the cabinet, the front edge of each of which is concave, as at 15, said concave receding from the front of the cabinet, thereby forming, in conjunction with the door when the door is closed, an air-duct extending from the bottom to the top of the cabinet, by means of which, in conjunction with the openings 6 in the back and the openings 9 in the bottom, the air may circulate through the cabinet.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- A shoe-cabinet comprising a rectangular body closed on three sides, having feet to elevate it to provide an air-circulating space underneath, screened perforations in the back and bottom of the cabinet, a door hinged to the open side of the cabinet and shelves secured in the cabinet having concave front edges receding from the front of the cabinet to form an air-duct between the door and shelves extending from the top to the bottom of the cabinet to provide a circulation of air between the bottom of the cabinet and the spaces between the shelves.

The foregoing specification signed this 23d day of March, 1903.
